This information is needed from applicants who propose to do work in Waters of the United States pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act or Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Emergency Justfication: This collection was identified as a violation by OMB in association with a rulemaking for the National Permit. This emergency will be used to clear up this violation and continue on with this necessary collection. A full clearance will follow that fully encompasses the USACE permit scope."
